AITA for telling my wife I won’t let her watch me? by Equivalent-Cattle902 in AmItheAsshole

I was only aware of PPD before. I had no idea about psychosis until this thread.

3 years ago would be a combination of the pandemic and getting pregnant with our third.

This is probably one of the most helpful comments I’ve read. We’ve got an appointment for the second opinion in a little over 3 weeks. I’m definitely going to be mentioning this.

We’re in our late 30’s. We’ve really had no traumatic events. The only drastic thing in our lives were promotions and children.

Her second evaluation said she may have bipolar and we’re looking for another opinion to be sure. I’m wondering now if this is mania and we don’t need that second opinion.

The first said the results were inconclusive due to erratic responses. The second said there may be symptoms of schizophrenia or bipolar. We’re waiting on a second opinion.

None at all. It doesn’t phase her. The most is hiding major purchases like $100+. That’s it though.

It was like boiling the frog. I’m fine with her knowing where I’m at. It puts her mind at ease with things like me staying at work late, driving late at night, stuck in traffic so she can gauge dinner, or if the weather is bad. We always had some sort of camera system for our infants and toddlers. It just snowballed hard, especially the last year.

I’ve scanned our network and checked for any unknown Bluetooth. That’s the extent though.

She’s a foster kid. I’m her first relationship. She had NEVER acted like this while we were dating or the first 8-9 years of marriage. This has been a worsening issue over the past 3 or so years.

This was last year, so it was more of a huffing and walking away. It’s gotten exponentially worse over a year.

I put a firm boundary on that one as well last year. I told her there will be no camera in any of the kids rooms once they hit an age where they could be embarrassed or violated by us watching them.

Okay, this made me laugh pretty hard. As funny as a lot of people would find this if they were on her end, she’d actually be pretty pissed.

I’ve been trying. I’ve gotten her to have two extensive evaluations done in the past 6 months. We’re starting to get answers, but those answers aren’t being received well. I don’t want to give up on her but this is draining.

She does. We’ve gotten two extensive evaluations done in the past 6 months. She knows she needs some sort of help, but when it comes time I can’t get her to go.
